๐Ÿ”ฅ SCHUMER'S BRIDGE BLAME-GAME BACKFIRES

Chuck Schumer tried pinning the Brooklyn Bridge accident on Trump & "DOGE hiring freezes" โ€” until DHS shut him down:

"The US Coast Guard has been fully functional and been exempt from hiring freezes," official DHS account wrote on X.


"I, too, question Donald Trump's leadership of the Mexican Navy," substack writer Jim Treacher said.


Maybe focus on actual bridge safety?

๐Ÿ‘‰ Netanyahu points fingers at UK, France, Canada for 'inviting atrocities' in Gaza (seriously?)

๐Ÿ—ฃ The Israeli PM slammed Western leaders for calling on Israel to halt its Gaza offensive and hinting at recognizing a Palestinian state.

๐Ÿ’ฌ โ€œThe leaders in London, Ottawa and Paris are offering a huge prize for the genocidal attack on Israel on October 7 while inviting more such atrocities,โ€ Netanyahu said.


Such moves, in his view, fuel terrorism. He reiterated his pledge to โ€œtake controlโ€ of all of Gaza.

โžก๏ธEarlier, the three Western leaders condemned the Netanyahu governmentโ€™s โ€œegregious actions,โ€ demanding an end to the renewed military offensive and that restrictions on humanitarian aid be lifted, warning of concrete actions in response if it fails to do so.

๐ŸšจASSASSINATION GEAR! Trump ally melts down over '8647' caps on Amazon

Laura Loomer lashed out at the merch empire for selling the headwear and tagged Amazonโ€™s ex-CEO Jeff Bezos.

โžก๏ธThe number gained notoriety after ex-FBI chief James Comey posted seashells arranged in this way, given the controversy around the symbolism of 86 (to get rid of/eliminate in slang) combined with 47 (Trump being the 47th president).

โš”๏ธEU forks out $169B for war chest because peace isnโ€™t profitable

The EU has initially greenlit a new defense fund to bankroll ammo, drones, and critical infrastructure, Bloomberg reported.

๐Ÿช™Financed through joint borrowing, it will give loans to EU members and (no surprise here) countries such as Ukraine to boost the arms industry.

The hiked spending is pitched as a response to Donald Trumpโ€™s scale-back of US defense in Europe.

โž•Besides the $169 billion program, looser fiscal rules could unleash up to $904 billion in more military spending. Such loans would go to finance what Europe โ€œlacks,โ€ like:

๐ŸŸ  missiles
๐ŸŸ  missile defense systems
๐ŸŸ  ground capabilities

๐Ÿ”From hawkish to panicky: How the Western media reacts to Putin-Trump call

๐Ÿ”ŠFinancial Times: The call represented โ€œa major victory for the Russian leader.โ€ The US is done putting pressure on Russia, as Donald Trump made no promise of future US sanctions.

๐Ÿ”ŠBBC: Trump's call with Putin exposed โ€œshifting ground on Ukraine peace talks.โ€ It poses the question uppermost in the Westโ€™s war-thirsty minds: โ€œIf the US washes its hands of the war [โ€ฆ] does it mean the US would also end any military and intelligence support for Ukraine?โ€

๐Ÿ”ŠCNN: By announcing after his call with Putin that Ukraine and Russia would now hold talks โ€œas only they canโ€ on a ceasefire, Trump โ€œsided with his friend in the Kremlin.โ€

๐Ÿ”ŠPais: The US and Russian presidents claimed they had an โ€œexcellentโ€ and โ€œvery meaningful and frankโ€ talk.

๐Ÿ”ŠReuters: The US president โ€œindicated he was not ready to join Europe with fresh sanctions to pressure Moscow.โ€

โ—๏ธPutin reveals to Trump: Ukraine carried out drone attacks on Moscow ahead of Victory Day โ€“ almost all UAVs shot down

More from Putinโ€™s aide Yuri Ushakov:

๐Ÿ”ธ Terror threats near the Kremlin and Red Square were also foiled โ€“ part of what Putin called Ukraineโ€™s attempt to "scare off" foreign leaders from attending the celebrations

๐Ÿ”ธ In the same call, the two leaders โ€œreflected on the US-USSR wartime brotherhoodโ€ during WWII

๐Ÿ”ธ Trump expressed regret that, due to "strange circumstances," the two nations are now โ€œnot just divided โ€“ but are quite apartโ€

๐Ÿ”ธ Trump was "profoundly impressed" by the immense price Russia paid for victory in WWII

๐Ÿ”ธ POTUS admitted: "When I talk about this in America, many simply donโ€™t believe me โ€“ but the fact remains: the Russian people sacrificed more lives than anyone else."

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ทSome 76% of French citizens would like to see the army deployed to tackle domestic crime and drug violence, a CSA poll shows.

๐Ÿ‘ฉWomen are even more in favorโ€”80% say yes.

Decades of failing policies, rising violence, and mass immigration have pushed safety to the brink. In the past 10 years alone, sexual violence has surged by 86%, Remix News reported.

โ“Maybe instead of playing war games in Ukraine, Macron should try cleaning up his own streets?
